"Our countries are embarked on a new relationship for the 21st
century, founded on a commitment to the values of democracy, the free
market, and the rule of law. The United States and Russia have overcome
the legacy of the Cold War. Neither country regards the other as an
enemy or threat. Aware of our responsibility to contribute to
international security, we are determined to work together, and with
other nations and international organizations, including the United
Nations, to promote security, economic well-being, and a peaceful,
prosperous, free world."
